She's a "varnish roan" which actually is common among Appaloosas. She doesn't have spots like Phoenix but when she was a yearling, she was red with white on her hips! You just never know with this breed.

Yes she does get sunburn. Without her fly mask, she sometimes gets burned on her eyelids too, because the skin around her eyes is pink with black speckles.

Sunscreen doesn't really work because it spreads into the water tank when she takes a drink. Next year I might get a fly mask for her with a nose flap or sew a fringe along the nose band, just to keep the sun off.

About Me

I ride, I read, I write. I share my life with a husband, two teenagers, a Pug, a scary house cat, and three horses. Pink is my favourite colour. I used to hate it but then my brain got rearranged and now I like it so much I sometimes dye my hair pink. I'm slightly crazy and I believe we should all stop saying crazy like it's a bad thing. I write novels - like as in, I start them and actually finish them - and I fully intend to be a published author. I teach people how to ride horses for a living, and I love my job! All I ever wanted to do was ride my ponies and write my stories. Hey, that's what I do! Lucky, lucky me. Join me for horses, trucks, Johnny Depp, antidepressants, beer, trashy pop culture, interior desecrating, Jesus, John Deere, and rock stars. Yeeaahhh! We'll laugh and cry, it'll be fun, c'mon.
